East West Partners of Virginia, Inc., applicant, and Eagle Harbor, LLC and EH2, LLC, owners, have submitted an application for a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future recommended land use of 80.29 acres of land with tax map numbers 34-01-003A1, 34-01-077, and 34-01-077D from Suburban Estate and Suburban Residential to Mixed Use. The properties are located on Carrollton Boulevard (Rte. 17) and Channel Way (Rte. 662).

The Eagle Harbor Development was conditionally rezoned in 1998 allowing for 1,500 residential units and commercial space. Development has been ongoing since that time with a mix of housing types, including single family detached and attached, and apartments. Additionally, there has been a variety of commercial development over the years, including the Food Lion shopping center, the smaller Eagle Harbor Shoppes, and several outparcels.

A full analysis of the consistency of the application with County plans and ordinances is provided in the attached Planning Commission staff report.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by a vote of 7 to 3 at their October 22, 2019, meeting. 

Staff recommends denial of the application as submitted due to the weaknesses noted in the staff report.
